In front of the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, the red carpet spread far away, and a large number of paparazzi and reporters gathered on both sides, Hollywood celebrities, dressed up one by one, walked on the red carpet in pairs, and showed their best side in the mapping of the camera flash.

It's Warner Bros. anniversary, and it's no slapper than last month's Oscars.

"Director Rosenberg, is Miss Watts your girlfriend?"

"There has been news circulating that Miss Watts was able to get the heroine of "Independence Day" from Nicole Kidman because of your support?"

When he walked on the red carpet with Naomi Watts, Duke heard a lot of reporters' crazy questions, but he didn't have any interest in answering, in fact, since last year, many tabloids have been hyping him and Naomi Watts are filming and other gossip, he has not made any explanation, I am afraid that this kind of lace news will continue to appear in the future, so why explain?

Besides, this can also play a certain role in promoting the film.

With no interest in dealing with the media, Duke walked the red carpet relatively quickly, and Naomi Watts, unlike him, kept waving to the reporters around her, wishing that all the camera lenses were aimed at her.

Walking briskly across the red carpet, the two came to the front of the hotel, where more reporters gathered, fortunately, the order was good, and the people who walked by would also take pictures with their autographs under the background board of Warner Bros.

"Looks like a friend of yours."

When he walked to the photo area, Duke looked at the man and woman with his fingers interlocked, "No wonder it's so lively, it turns out to be Mr. and Mrs. Cruise." ”

"It's been a long time since we've been in touch." Naomi Watts whispered in Duke's ear.

Turning his head to look at her, Duke immediately figured out what was going on, which is all too common in Hollywood, and there are countless examples of so-called girlfriends turning against each other because of a character.

"Miss Kidman, Miss Watts......"

Presumably a reporter spotted Duke and Naomi Watts and shouted, "I heard that you are good friends, can you take a photo together?" ”

"Of course!"

Nicole Kidman, who was standing in front of the background card, looked at this side, with the kindest smile on her face, Naomi Watts didn't think about it, let go of Duke's arm, showed an almost identical smile, strode over, opened her hand and hugged Nicole Kidman, and put on a touching sisterhood pose.

Looking at this qiē with amusement, Duke also walked over and smiled and extended his hand to Tom Cruise, "Long time no see, Tom." ”

"yes, long time no see."

Although he was brainless at times, Tom Cruise was not stupid, and gave Duke his trademark smile and shook his hand hard.

"Let's take a picture together."

Duke looked at the two women holding arms next to him, and sighed that his acting skills seemed to have improved a lot, and he could play some small roles in movies in the future.

The four of them stood together, like best friends, and let the reporter take pictures, and the incongruous atmosphere could only be felt by themselves.

"Congratulations, Nami."

There seemed to be an intimate chat next to him, and the words under that bright smile were full of mockery and hostility, "Now it's the heroine of the big production zuò!" ”

"You're welcome." Naomi Watts raised her chin without a trace.

At the end of the shooting, the four people turned around and walked into the hotel, just out of the sight of the media, as if they had made an appointment, and immediately separated themselves, as if they were just strangers who didn't know each other.

But Nicole Kidman's words did not end, and walked into the elevator room where there was no one for the time being, and while waiting, she quietly came to Naomi Watts's side.

"I didn't expect you to steal my role!" She said in a low voice.

"You told me that in Hollywood, every opportunity is not to be missed." Naomi Watts had no intention of backing down.

Nicole Kidman's face didn't change at all, her mouth was close to Naomi Watts's ear, and she said in a voice that only they could hear, "What did you do to get the role?" Climbed into Duke Rosenberg's bed? him? ”

The elevator opened at this time, Duke and Cruise walked in successively, the two women who stayed behind did not mean to move, Naomi Watts also lowered her voice and sneered at each other, "In order to gain a foothold in Hollywood, Mary, didn't you also climb into Cruise's bed?" Duke is single, at least I didn't ruin someone else's marriage! ”

Nodding slightly, Nicole Kidman was clearly more tolerant than her husband, and was the first to enter the elevator, followed by Naomi Watts.

The corner of his eyes drifted over the delicate makeup of the two women, and Duke knew very well that these two Australian women would definitely be like once in the future, with best friends and good sisters in front of the media, but enemies behind them.

Then again, the competition between Hollywood's first- and second-tier actresses is extremely fierce, and only a fool would believe that there will be a so-called friendship between them.

With a soft "ding" sound, the elevator door opened, and without waiting for Tom Cruise and his wife to make a move, Dukla and Naomi Watts walked out first, turned out of the elevator room and came to the door of the grand ballroom, and the Warner Bros. people immediately greeted them warmly.

"Hi, Duke."

"Hi Jeff. Hi Kevin. ”

Walking into the banquet hall, Duke shook hands with several high-level Warner Bros. executives, while the Crews who followed him were temporarily in a state of no one's attention.

Nicole Kidman looked at Warner Bros. and the executives of other film companies who greeted Duke Rosenberg and Naomi Watts warmly in front of her, and felt that the hand holding her was getting tighter and stronger, not only frowning slightly, in recent years, the couple had indeed not received such a cold reception, with Cruise's temperament, I am afraid that they have been angry.

"Tom, calm down!" She reminded in a low voice.

She believed that if no one reminded him, Tom Cruise might turn around and leave, and that it was not him who was ashamed, but also Nicole Kidman.

"If his next film fails, these people will ......"

Vaguely, Nicole Kidman heard her husband seem to be whispering something to himself, and the hand holding her was stronger, she obviously felt pain, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "Tom, you scratched me!" ”

Tom Cruise gave her a cold look and threw her hand away.

After entertaining Warners, when Duke walked towards the center of the banquet hall, he glanced back and saw Tom Cruise's gloomy face and Nicole Kidman's pretty face tense, as if there was a conflict between the husband and wife......

Guided by Warner's staff, Duke and Naomi Watts went to a small table in the center of the front row, shook hands with the person next to them, and sat in two adjacent seats.

"What did you say to Nicole Kidman?"

Idle and bored, Duke couldn't help but gossip, "When it's outside the elevator room." ”

"She laughed at me ......"

Naomi Watts didn't seem to care and whispered, "Because I put you in bed. It's cool, that's why I got the role in "Independence Day". ”

Duke shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with that.

"Isn't she the same?" Naomi Watts squinted at Duke and continued, "If it hadn't ruined Tom Cruise's marriage, would she have been able to establish herself in Hollywood?" ”

Listening to Naomi Watts' words with a hint of resentment, Duke could roughly guess that this was definitely not the first time that the two men had faced each other.

Sure enough, without waiting for Duke to ask anything, Naomi Watts added, "After the audition results for 'Independence Day' came out, she spread the word in the Australian actor circle that I robbed her of her role despite my friendship and the help she had given me. ”

"Now the whole Australian gang is ostracizing me!" Her eyes looked back, and that was where Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were sitting, "And she ruined one of my auditions!" ”

"Don't worry too much." Duke thought for a moment and reminded her, "Caring too much about some personal grudges won't do your career any good." ”

Hollywood competition is everywhere, and if you want to climb to the top, you can say that there are enemies and competitors everywhere, and if you focus on fighting these people, you will only achieve nothing in the end.

Obviously, Naomi Watts was mentioned by Nancy Josephson, withdrew her hateful gaze, picked up the wine glass in front of her, touched Duke's glass, and drank it all.

"Hi, Duke."

A warm greeting came from the side, and Duke stood up and stepped forward, "It's a pleasure to see you, Townsend." ”

The person who came to greet him was none other than Townsend Rothman, the current CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, who sat at the table after Duke made a gesture to sit down.

"How's the film going?" Naturally, he asked about Independence Day.

"一qiē顺lì."

The post-production of the film dragged on quite a long time, and because of the special effects production, Duke's work was not as intense as the previous two times, "I will definitely finish it on time in June." ”

"Then Fawkes is waiting for your good news." Townsend Rothman smiled brightly, as if the film had already been a big hit, "I believe this will be a successful collaboration like 'Life and Death'." ”

"I believe that too."

Seeing that Townsend Rothman was about to leave, Duke stood up and shook his hand, watching the helm of Twentieth Century Fox walk away.

"It's only been a few years, and you've become a popular director in the eyes of film companies." Naomi Watts next to her said with admiration, "You're already a successful person in Hollywood, Duke." ”

"Thank you."

Just nodding to Naomi, Duke noticed that two more people were coming over, the middle-aged Jewish man walking in front was Robert Solomon, the executive vice president of Warner Bros., and behind him, he was about to forget - Rick Solomon! R1152
